Britain is warmer than Alaska primarily due to the influence of the North Atlantic Drift, an extension of the Gulf Stream, which brings warm oceanic air to the British Isles. This ocean current moderates temperatures, resulting in milder winters compared to Alaska, which is affected by continental climate patterns and colder Arctic air masses. Additionally, Britain's more temperate maritime climate contributes to its overall warmth.

Why is southern Britain warmer than northern Britain?

In the northern hemispherethe further south you go nearer the tropics the warmer it gets, as the sun reaches higher in the sky warming the land and sea more effectively. Therefore, on average, land further south (eg South of France) is warmer than Britain, and, on average, North Africa is warmer than France. The North of Scotland is much cooler on average than the south for the same reason. In Scotland, the sun does not reach as high in the sky (even in summer) as it does in the south and so does not warm the land and sea as effectively as it would in the south. Add to this prevailing winds from the arctic (rather than from the West in the south of Britain) and the north of the country ends up much cooler on average.
